The purpose of an Emergency Activation Plan is to protect the employees from serious injury, property loss, or loss of life, in the event of an actual or potential major disaster. A major disaster may include, but not limited to, any of the following: fire, tornado, earthquake, bomb threat, or hazardous chemical spill. In the event of a major disaster, this Emergency Activation Plan describes the initial responsibilities and actions to be taken to protect all employees until the appropriate university or municipal responders take over.

It is of the utmost importance that the employer review with each employee upon their initial assignment or when the plan changes, those parts of the plan that the employee must know to protect her/himself in the event of an emergency. In addition, the written plan shall be made available for employees to review and plan for their evacuation.

Every Business, Municipality, Organization, and Operation should be required to have an Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) which describes how a facility will respond to and recover from all hazards; unfortunately this is not the case. An EOP is inclusive of the six critical elements within the Joint Commission’s Emergency Management Standards:

The “all hazards” approach allows ability to respond to a range of emergencies varying in scale, duration, and cause. The EOP addresses response procedures, capabilities and procedures when a facility, Municipality, Business, or any organization cannot be supported by the community, recovery strategies, initiating and terminating response and recovery phases, activating authority and identifies alternate sites for operations.

The Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) provides the structure and processes that the organization utilizes to respond to and initially recover from an event. The EOP is therefore the response and recovery component of the organization.

To your benefit NEPTA has developed the one of the most comprehensive and exhaustive Emergency Operation Plan’s available.

A continuity of operations plan, or COOP, outlines steps that an agency will take in the event a disaster interrupts business. Continuity plans require agencies to designate functions as essential or nonessential. Essential functions are those jobs that personnel must perform regardless of circumstances. Examples of essential functions are health care, law enforcement, border patrol, communications and environmental containment. The government also must ensure that resources or personnel associated with a critical function are geographically disbursed and not concentrated in one area, which raises the risk that those employees could not perform their duties if a disaster strikes.

President Bush issued Homeland Security Presidential Directive 20 in May 2007, which mandates agencies to develop continuity plans to ensure that mission-critical functions continue during emergencies -- including technological emergencies. HSPD-20 is more explicit than previous directives and the White House issued it in response to the political fallout from its poor management in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The directive called for increased interagency cooperation, with FEMA remaining in charge of coordinating emergency activities under the National Response Framework. The framework tasks agencies with disaster response functions, and they are responsible to FEMA for performing them.

Agencies also are responsible for developing contingency plans that outline how they would continue operating if any kind of emergency occurred, including a loss of electricity to a large-scale disaster. Part of agencies' plans must include having access to alternate facilities and making sure critical personnel are not concentrated in one location. In addition, they must safeguard and duplicate all critical technological resources and databases. FEMA and GAO advocate testing continuity plans.

By definition, emergencies happen when we don't expect them, and often when families are not together. Suddenly, you need to think about your kids at school or elderly parents across town. If phones don’t work, or some neighborhoods aren’t accessible, what will you do?

A Disaster can force you to evacuate your neighborhood or confine you to your home. What would you do if basic services, such as water, gas, electricity, or telephones were cut off? Local officials and relief workers could be or will be on the scene after a disaster, but they cannot reach everyone right away.

During an Emergency your church will want to have plans in place to ensure that operations continue smoothly and are not a source of stress or crisis.

While churches and congregations are not businesses, they do provide critical services and sanctuary, employ staff, purchase and maintain equipment and supplies, require reliable building heating/ventilating/air conditioning, require income streams, payment of expenses and banking services, information technology and communication systems. All or some of these services and systems are easily disrupted during a disaster or other emergency directly affecting your church or your community or even your province. New church building plans, including building systems, equipment and furnishings, should take these service continuity factors into account, e.g. showers for men and women, ability to easily connect portable generators to electrical system if prolonged power outage, mass public feeding, etc.

NEPTA’s Continuity of Ministry Plan assists in ensuring critical congregational services and activities can continue during a disaster and that there is a plan to resume normal functioning after the disaster. It will help keep your congregation viable during and after a disruptive event. Critical services or products are those that must be delivered to ensure survival, avoid causing injury, and meet legal or other obligations of an organization. Business Continuity Planning is a proactive planning process that ensures critical services or products are delivered during a disruption, and normal services or products are resumed as effectively as possible after the disruption.
